[Review of previous edition: ] Crammed full of gorgeous, colour photos and information on sites to see in the Rocky Mountains, Southern Alberta, Northern Alberta, places along the Hwy 2 corridor, and special interests like caves, waterfalls, and hikes.--Susan Zielnski Red Deer Advocate (5/1/2018 12:00:00 AM) [Review of previous edition: ] It is a book welcomed by nature-lovers across province as it highlights a huge cross-section of natural spaces in Alberta, both those that are widely known as well as many unique hidden treasures.-- Ellis Bird Farm Blog (5/24/2018 12:00:00 AM) [Review of previous edition: ] Organized by regions -- southern and northern Alberta, the Rocky Mountains, Calgary and Edmonton, and one on special interests such as hot springs and places to enjoy dark skies -- the book is user-friendly. Each entry profiles the destination and includes a sidebar on what makes this spot so special. There are lots of well-known destinations in the books such as Columbia Icefields and Moraine Lake, but many hidden gems, too... The photos bring the book to life with spectacular colour.--Michele Jarvie Calgary Herald (5/25/2018 12:00:00 AM) [Review of previous edition: ] The book is a combination of well-known locales (Banff National Park) and undiscovered jewels (who knew McLennan proclaimed itself the Bird Capital of Canada?)... Hikers will enjoy tips on tackling a hiking route, cyclists the best direction to travel a route, and paddlers the identification of waterways suitable for beginners versus experts. People seeking caves, dark skies, hot springs, larch, nature festivals, paddling, and waterfalls will find a list of special interest places they can string together for a themed trip or check off as time allows... Visitors to Alberta will find the book helpful if they want to go beyond places often featured on tourist brochures. Well-travelled Canadians will find it breathes new life into their vacations or weekend getaways.--Carol Patterson Carol Patterson Inspiring Everyday Explorers Blog (6/12/2018 12:00:00 AM) [Review of previous edition: ] Two of Canada's top adventurers have recently released a fantastic book, that's both an amazing read and an awesome gift.--Jody Robbins Jody Robbins Travel with Baggage Blog (11/26/2018 12:00:00 AM)
